I'm so sorry that we have to be here. I have PCOS and lost my baby Hillary at 23 weeks on August 3rd due to PPROM. We had tried for 2.5 years to conceive so this is just devastating.
Anyhow, I was wondering what you all have experienced as far as cycles after a birth or a loss like this. I am reading that sometimes cycles and fertility are better and then I read the opposite that it will be worse. I'd love some personal experiences here.
I seem to be having some strange hormonal stuff going on. Feeling very PMS like but no flow and migraine headaches. I also am having alot of PMS like back pain. I swear I thought I was just going to get my period but this has been going on for a few days now and there is no sign.
1st off I'm so sorry for your loss of Hillary.
I lost my twins a week after you on the 9th and 10th august at 22w3d, I had to have a d&c afterwards due to heavy blood loss and retained placental tissue so I don't know if my situation is exactly the same as yours.
I bled for 2 and 1/2 weeks after having the girls, stopped for just over a week and my period which was pretty light arrived 28 days after i went into labour and lasted 4-5 days having just stopped sunday night.
now I'm waiting to see if i ovulate and when, and go from there.
hope this helps
big hugs to you
Hela xxx

Hello
I lost my son due to IC (incompetent cervix) at 22wk3dys on July 19th/07. When I had a cycle, they used to be around 35days long. My AF showed up on September 5th. It was normal for me, 6 days - this is my first after my loss, and we are going to try again. If you read through the TTC thread (especially after a loss) you get so many different results. I don't really know if you'll find a trend.
Hope that helps! If you feel like it is coming, it probably is!
Are you sure your uterus is void of any issues? The reason I ask is that I had experiences where there was still things going on in there despite the fact that I had delivered ... Have you gone back to your dr to be checked out (especially with the back pain your experiencing)? I don't want to worry you- but it's important to get checked. Hopefully it's just an AF trying to happen... but if it's not you'll want to know that too...
